Improves accuracy imesurably, I should have gotten it a long time ago. Everything about this barrel is tight: the grouping, the looks, the price. Doesn't break a lot of paint. An inexpensive must have addon for the Stingray.

Weaknesses:

A little hard to clean paint out of the porting.

Conclusion:

This barrel is definatly worth the $30 it costs. It increases the Stingrays looks and accuracy and won't hurt your checkbook. Buy one now before your next game, I guarentee you won't regret it. I can shoot from 30 or more yards away and get almost every shot to hit its mark.

Any kind of paintball will work I also use BrassEagle cause they are cheap.

Strengths:

Grealty improves accuracy.
Makes the gun look a whole lot cooler and more intimidating.
Softes the sound coming out of the gun.
Does not move around like the stock barrel does.
Cheap.

Weaknesses:

A little heavy.
Gives you away if you are playing the the woods.
does not soften sound enough.

Conclusion:

If you own a stingray go out and get this barrel it is a must have for all people that use it. It improve accuracy and softens sound ( not enough though) and is cheap. So if you enjoy useing your stingray and want to keep it get this upgrade it is well worth it and i suggest it to all who use the gun.

Any will work i use brasseable cause they are cheapest and really good if you are just out having fun with your friends.

Strengths:

Looks cool.
Imporves accuracy a ton.
Makes guns quieter.
Does not spin around in the gun like stock barrel does.
easy to manage and take care of.
Cheap and easy way to improve the quality of your stingray.
Lightweight and is not to long or gaudy looking.

Weaknesses:

Nothing.
This barrel upgrade is excellent and i would recomned it to all who use a stingray 2.

Conclusion:

This is a great product and is well worth the money it costs. Plus it adds a awesome look to your stingray and makes it much more accurate. It also helps to reduce the noise and makes the gun much more aggressive lokking on the field.

Various types of paint have fared well, although smaller paint seems to be more erratic.

Strengths:

Solid construction, good looks, built with the Stingray in mind. Performance is very good, much better than the stock barrel and similar in appearance. No adapters are needed as it was manufactured specifically for hte Stingray.

Weaknesses:

Somewhat heavy and getting spray out of the ports is sometimes a pain. Barrel is also a shiny silver in color which can be a detractor in rec or woods play where one often finds Stingray users.

Conclusion:

A definite improvement over the stock barrel, this BE made product performs well with the Stingray and is a must have upgrade for the 'Ray considering the price in comparison to other Stingray specific barrels.

any kind of paint will work with this barrel. i would recommend using pmi paintballs over brass eagle

Strengths:

with this barrel, you ensure yourself of a good shot every time. the accuracy of this barrel far succeeds that of the stock. it also looks very cool and is a lot more intimidating than the stock barrel. it also doesn't break as much paint as the stock, and ping sound is decreased. it also doesn't spin when attached like the stock. the best part is that it is very affordable.

Weaknesses:

the only bad thing is it is kinda hard to clean out on the field, but this barrel also doesn't break as much paint, so you don`t have to worry about that to much. you should be carrying a spare gun anyway

Conclusion:

a must buy for anyone who has a Stingray II of a Stingray II Ice. even if you Stingray is your spare, $30 is nothing. the stock barrel is one of the worst barrels i have ever seen, and not buying this barrel as soon as you can is a mistake

the price is moderately cheap, 25-30 bucks new, about 10-15 bucks used
this barrel is a decent barrel, with cheap paint like Afterburners Blue/Wild Streaks it can hit what your aiming at with a few rounds

with Super Swirls or PMI Premiums it has moderate to exceptional accuracy up to about 70-80 feet.

at about 300 fps this barrel tends to swirl the balls, maybe its the porting or somethig i dont know, but around 250-270 fps this barrel works great

Conclusion:

Overall, its a decent priced barrel new, but if u can pick up a good condition used one for like 15 bucks id jump on it
for 30 bucks id give it an 8 but since i got it for 15 myself, ill give it a 9 cuz its a great leap over the stock stingray barrel, not too bad

I bought this barrel for my Stingray a long time ago, when my Stingray was my only gun. Now it primarily just sits in my room, but every now and then I take it out and mess around in the back yard. Most of my review will be from when I used it years ago.

~Accuracy~ A noticably better, much improved accuracy over the stock barrel. The stock barrel is like 6'' and is IMO one of the worst stock barrels ever made. This barrel is without a doubt an improvement. Shot groupings are tighter.

~Quality~ It is certainly no Smart Parts or Custom Products barrel, but if you own a Stingray you really have no other options when it comes to the barrel department. It seems to be a decent quality barrel, not the greatest, but again, a huge improvement from the stock barrel.

Conclusion:

If you own a Stingray then this is a great barrel to have. I don't even know if this barrel is still in production, but check around on Ebay or in paintball trading forums, you might be able to find one. To Stingray owners who just like to play to have some fun with your friends, this is the barrel for you.

It increases accuracy tons. it looks very nice. Only broken a few ball. Affordable.

Weaknesses:

None really, if there are i havent noticed them yet.

Review:

I love this frigin barrel, So much better than the stock and i dont have to frigin deal with the crap of cleanin out the paint cuz the frigin ball has broken. Its very affordable too so get the frigin thang. youll love this thang the only way itll mess up is if you dent it or put it on wrong or somthin.

-None that i see.
-Mabey a little shiny but just cover it in electrical tape

Review:

This barrel is a must have for the stingray. Increases accuracy 100% and muffles the sound of the gun (therefor its quieter)! Also its cheap, like 35$ Which is well worth the money. So go buy one if you own a stingray. Lastly this eagleworks barrel doesn't spin when its on the gun like the anoying stock barrel.

Conclusion:

Great Barrel so go out and get one to imrove you accuracy and quiet the stingray.

PMIs don't seem to break that often in it, but I'm not sure what paint fits in it well, don't use Ass Beagle, use viewloaders as a last resort, they're a little better than BE.

Strengths:

Um, kinda accurate for a stingray (don't give me that sniper bull, it's a fu(king stingray, it costs $50, its not really accurate!)
Out of 120 PMIs, none broke (which amazed me, 'cause I was used to BE, which literally chop about 1/10 of balls)
Its incredibly more accurate than the stock barrel, but not THAT accurate

Weaknesses:

-Loud
-Has stupid method of putting it in, doesn't screw in
-Not as accurate as stock barrels on many other guns I've seen (then again, they cost twice as much, so It's not really a fair comparison)
-Can bounce around a bit due to bad holding system
-Doesn't shoot through breaks well
-Hard to clean during a game

Conclusion:

Though this barrel is really pretty bad, you have no other choice if you have a stingray. Shooting a stingray with stock barrel compared to stingray with this barrel, its the biggest difference in accuracy I have ever seen, due to a barrel upgrade. Like I said, many stock barrels on $100-$150 guns are alot better, but this is the only barrel you can get for a stingray, and it's (or at least should be...) dirt cheap. You MUST get this for a stingray, to have any chance of hitting someone beyond 20 yards. 7 because of the huge difference it makes and the price, but also because they could have made it much better.
